Scaling-up Community-Led Total Sanitation

From village to nation

Kamal Kar
Scaling-up Community-Led Total Sanitation starts with detailed instructions
on how to facilitate CLTS in a village or cluster of villages. It then
explores how to scale up and institutionalize CLTS at a regional and
national level by gaining the commitment of leaders within government
ministries. The book provides case studies from Madagascar to Kenya,
Ghana, Ethiopia, Zambia, Timor Leste and India. It also includes a
section of frequently asked questions to provide those managing CLTS
programmes with answers distilled from knowledge and experience.

This is essential reading for all involved with sanitation programming

from field facilitators and trainers to policy makers, donors and
programme managers at district, regional and national levels.
